Glad you are doing well. I'm on day three and I didn't need any pain meds since I was released yesterday. I am however shocked at how little I'm unable to eat. I'm in liquids and I ate a yogurt and felt like I ate an entire Thanksgiving dinner. It took me almost 6 hours before I could add Soup. Getting all the liquids in is tough too. Just so full. The gas has subsided but still feel really bloated. Good luck everyone!

I haven't had yogurt yet but I am craving Campbell's Tomato Soup. I wonder if it's too soon? I am already on Protein shakes.

That's funny my liquid diet allows Soup and other liquids like watered down oatmeal, cream of wheat and low fat soup. I had a can of Tomato soup made with skim milk for dinner. It filled me up beyond being full but if your dr's diet doesn't allow it, I wouldn't do it. Every doctor is so different. Good luck!

I am actually quite hungry but the thought of having a Protein shake makes me feel nauseous at the moment. The ones I got aren't bad but thy are just so darn sweet.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
